4. My grandfather was from Frankfort, and went to Bowdoin--

--and he had an accent as thick as a good lobster sandwich. My Mom was born in maine, but grew up in CT...and she didn't have one...and naturally, neither do I, much as I've always wanted to tahk lahke a Yankee... No one in CT has a Yankee accent anymore--the "accent" is New York...lots of youses and doses... You actually have a Maine accent, WIMR? I've heard that the Down East accent was disappearing...I'd be delighted to hear that young people are still acquiring them...
